What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the pilot landed on runway 1L at mci. While taxiing to the ups ramp from the runway, the aircraft was struck by an mci police car. The incident occurred at the intersection of the vehicle access road (ottawa) and the taxiway into the ups/twa cargo ramp. The pilot said that by the time it was evident that the car was not going to stop, he attempted to spin the aircraft to the right to avoid the collision. The car did not give way to the aircraft and crashed into the aircraft at about 40 mph. Damage to the aircraft consisted of the left main gear leg being broke off, the prop blades all bent and minor skin damage to the left wing. The prop went through the hood and right side of the windshield on the auto. The driver of the auto stated that she did not see the aircraft until just prior to the collision. No blame to the pilot. Incident closed. No further action necessary.
